    Shots fired

    In 2015 I won a Ruger American .308 bolt action with a Simmons scope at the local RNC tent raffle at our countys annual Deer Festival. Our grandson was 2 at the time. He is 9 now, two weeks ago I pulled it out and gave it to him for his first hunting season actually shooting. Still in the box...

    Bad day

    Leaving the marina Sunday morning and found this on the neighboring dock. Norice there is no dock viisible, we have floating docks with our 8++ tides here. I called the Dockmaster/Mgr immediately to notify. Unfortunately I had brought our submersable pump home two weeks ago for a project...

    Anybody on the forum have a late '80s 430/440 at Bear Point?

    Son was in Orange Beach awhile ago and saw a 88-90ish 430/440 hardtop at Bear Point. We are visiting this weekend, thought maybe the owner was a member. Would love to see it up close.

    Stepping over a dollar to get a dime...

    I'm a fisherman my whole life. One of the things that attracted me to my current marina was that it was non metered-flat slip fee, and I was allowed to put one of my CC's in an empty slip when I was down, so I wouldn't have to drop and pick everyday at the ramp next door. I generally bring the...
